Titian
The Tribute Money
From $80
This painting is warm skin tones, white linen and a deep red couch, and a cheap copy turns it flat and muddy. Our Titian Venus of Urbino print is made from a photograph of the original, nothing repainted, so the whites stay soft, the reds stay deep and the room behind stays clear.
Canvas, framed or paper
Stretched canvas. Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.
Framed canvas. The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.
Framed print. Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.
Fine art print. Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.
Sizes
28x20 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.
On your wall
Its landscape shape suits a living room, a dining room or a study wall. The creams, reds and golds look rich with cream, slate and walnut, and a gold-toned natural wood or black frame suits it.
About the painting
Venus of Urbino by Titian
In Titian’s studio
Titian began this painting around 1534 and sold it in 1538. Its pose comes from the Dresden Venus, traditionally given to Giorgione, with a landscape finished by Titian. Here he brings Venus indoors and has her look straight at us.
Roses, a dog and a chest
She holds a posy of roses, and a small dog sleeps at her feet, often a sign of faithfulness. Behind, two maids search a cassone, the chest where a bride’s clothes were kept.
The young duke
In January 1538 young Guidobaldo della Rovere saw it in the studio and was desperate to buy it; his letters call it simply the nude woman. He became Duke of Urbino that year, which gave it its name. It reached the Uffizi in 1736.

Questions
Is this the original painting?
No. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.
Will the colour look flat?
This is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.
Will the edges be cropped?
Each size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.
Which size is right for my wall?
Aim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.
How long does it take?
Your piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.
What if it arrives damaged?
Send us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days of delivery. Our returns policy has the details.
